SUMMARY:Film Screening: After Tiller
DESCRIPTION:the film explores the issue of late-term abortion in the U.S. in the aftermath of the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in 2009\, one of the very few doctors to perform this procedure. We will actually have one of the physicians featured in the film\, Dr. Shelley Sella\, in attendance at the screening and she will answer questions afterwards. \nAfter Tiller intimately explores the highly controversial subject of third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of practitioner Dr. George Tiller. The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States\, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller\, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients. Directors Martha Shane and Lana Wilson have created a moving and unique look at one of the most incendiary topics of our time\, and they’ve done so in an informative\, thought-provoking\, and compassionate way. \n  \nSpace is limited. If you would like to attend\, please make a free reservation using this link to Brown Paper Tickets:\nhttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/608547\n  \nPresented by the Complicated Labor Research Cluster with support from Planned Parenthood Mar Monte.

SUMMARY:Complicated Labors: Feminism\, Maternity\, and Creative Practice (Symposium & Gallery Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:The Complicated Labor Research Cluster is an interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists\, writers\, and scholars around questions of feminism\, maternity\, and creative process. It seeks to center questions of care in our research and art whether they are explicit sites of inspiration and study or simply important to the conditions in which we undertake expressive practices. Through film\, visual art and photography\, performance\, writing\, and scholarship we will explore the complexities of contemporary motherhood. \nThis symposium\, with keynote address by foundational feminist artist Mary Kelly\, will create a space for critical interdisciplinary dialogue around issues of maternity\, feminism\, art-making\, and writing\, explicitly putting the 1970s in conversation with the current moment and putting writers in conversation with visual artists. The symposium is on Feb 5th from 10am-5pm at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab and will be followed by a gallery exhibition and reception from 5-7pm at the Sesnon Art Gallery. \nSymposium – Feb 5 @ 10:00am-5:00pm\nDigital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab\, UCSC\nFree and Open to the Public \nNearly forty years after Mary Kelly’s germinal 1976 exhibition of Post-Partum Document\, the work of women artists who explicitly engage with images\, processes\, and experiences of maternity remains marginalized and relatively misrecognized in the art world.  Despite a notable resurgence of attention to the maternal in 21st Century art theory and practice\, such work is more often than not\, read inside a discourse of indulgence\, sentimentality\, and identity rather than as representative of larger concerns with ecological systems\, ethics\, care\, or labor.  Complicated Labors investigates this problem\, bringing together historical and contemporary work addressing maternal labor to ask questions about the status of feminism — and feminist art — today. \nGallery Reception – Feb 5 @ 5:00-7:00pm\nSesnon Art Gallery\, UCSC\nComplicated Labors Gallery Exhibition runs from February 5 – March 15\, 2014 \nComplicated Labors builds on recent group exhibitions on the topic\, including Myrel Chernick’s and Jennie Klein’s 2004 and 2006 Maternal Metaphors and Maternal Metaphors II and Natalie Loveless’s 2010 New Maternalisms.  This exhibition addresses recent books such as Andrea Liss’s 2009 Feminist Art and the Maternal\, new journals such as Studies in the Maternal\, and new collectives such as Broodwork. \nSymposium Schedule:\n\n10:00 AM – Welcome (Micah Perks and Irene Lusztig) \n10:30 AM – Mary Kelly Keynote (opening remarks) \n11AM: Maternal Interventions (artist panel and discussion) \n12:30 – LUNCH \n2:30 PM – Maternal Secrets (writer panel and discussion) \n4:15 PM Closing Remarks by Megan Moodie \n5:00 – 7:00 PM Opening reception\, Sesnon Gallery (with performance by Alejandra Herrera Silva) \nAll events are free and open to the public. \nSymposium & Gallery Participants:\nKeynote:\nMary Kelly is an American conceptual artist\, feminist\, writer\, and professor of art and critical theory in the School of Art and Architecture at UCLA. \nWriters:\nAmra Brooks was born and raised in California.
